James Vince, who came as a replacement for Jason Roy, opened for England today. Though he was not as impactful as Jason Roy, Dawlat Zadran could surely feel the impact.

Eoin Morgan tried to cut the delivery away, left his crease to take a single and then realised that the ball was still near his foot. As Morgan tried to make it back into his crease, Naib tried to pull the English skipper from the back to impede his progress. Also, there was a flick at the striker’s end to effect a run-out but Morgan was well inside.

Jonny Bairstow dropped Rehmat Shah early in the innings. Rehmat Shah had a thick edge that flew at a good height to first slip and hit Bairstow on his chest and lobbed out. Joe Root also made a last attempt from the second slip but the ball bounced in front of him.

English opener James Vince got a massive top edge and the ball swirled over mid-wicket. Afghan allrounder Mohammad Nabi misjudged it completely and dropped it.

Joe Root, who has literally been the root of this English side, was having an intensive field training before the game against Afghanistan. No wonder why he is such a consistent performer. Just look at how he trains.

Everyone knew that it was almost impossible for Afghanistan to chase 398 against England at Manchester. And Afghanistan’s chase was so dull that English fans started leaving the stadium in the middle of the game.
